I forgot which actor it was, may Peter Capaldi, who complained about the 12+
hour work days the Dr Who producers expected the crew and actors to work. 
Must be a British thing regarding work hours, because that is common fare
with filming any Hollywood or Vancouver productions.  Funny thing he was
complaining about doing this over a run of eight or so episodes a half
season.  TNG or X-Files would do this over 26 episodes a season.  Soap operas
such as General Hospital had to film an episode in one day to keep producing
5 hour long shows a week.
